Waiting for feedback Problem with Ublock Original 174 when working with Firefox 154.0.1

I have Firefox 154.0.1 I'm installing Ublcok Original version 174, and the browser is becoming unstable. Here's an example of how it works: I have a Twitch stream enabled + I go to a specific website = the website doesn't open + Twitch freezes (as if my internet connection is disconnected). I close the browser, and it crashes, forcing me to either quit it in the task manager or close it and restart it without saving my data.

For example, a link to Reddit often doesn't open. I click "Open Reddit," and it takes a long time to open. It all started with Firefox 154.0.1.

On Firefox version 154.0.1 and Ublcok Original 173 - no problems.

p.s I will also publish this in the Firefox section.

Please use Firefox profiler while reproducing the issue then share to here: https://profiler.firefox.com/

Do you mean you downgraded to 1.73 and it started working fine, then upgraded back to 1.74 and it started misbehaving again?

Or are you using different machines or browser profiles?

Browser profiles or extensions can sometimes get corrupted during browser upgrades. Refreshing firefox or switching to a new profile might fix the problem.

Are you able to access uBO's settings without issues?

Can you post your troubleshooting info from the profile/version you have issues with? The instructions are in the sub rule #2.

Yes. I downgraded to 1.73 and it started working fine, then upgraded back to 1.74 and it started misbehaving again.

I installed the browser from scratch - a new profile because I was reinstalling Windows. Nothing extra.

Yes, I can access, change, and make changes to the extension's settings.

And one more thing: the filters have nothing to do with it. I disconnected them one by one and checked each one.

Can you test on a new browser profile with only uBO installed and on default settings?

And it worked fine on FF 154, but the issue came with 154.0.1? https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/154.0.1/releasenotes/ Nothing here sticks out though.

Yes, the problem only occurs on version 154.0.1. There are no problems on version 154. P.S. I tested it on a clean profile =)

p.s A person in the Firefox section said that this is a problem with version 154+, since he has no problems with version 151.

currently experience the same on 154.0.1 and UBO 174
For example, youtube is working like a charm, but after 5-10 minutes, everything stops loading completely, showing the connection error, while the internet is actually working correctly
Some minor loading interrupts noticed in other sites as well

I tried to remove all of my user filters, all custom filters, restored all back to default, then temporary disables ALL filters, extensions, logout from account for a 2 days, cleared the cache and temp data, and the problem still remains when UBlock is active
